The slow cooker is the Paleo-dieter’s best friend. With my slow cooker, I can prepare a full dinner, with only a few minutes of prep time. Plus, the slow cooker allows you to develop flavors in your food that would normally take hours to create. So today I want to share with you one of my favorite chicken recipes for the slow cooker: slow cooker chicken with lemon and rosemary. Read more

My younger cousin recently called me, in the midst of an existential food crisis. Ok, it wasn’t that serious, but by his tone, you’d have thought the world was about to end. “You’ve got to help me,” he said, rather glumly. “I invited this girl over for dinner Saturday night and I just realized I don’t know how to cook anything.” Ah, the problems of the 23 year old male species. Not sure if he didn’t think through his invite before making it or had simply never realized he didn’t know how to cook anything that required directions beyond “add water, heat in microwave.” But I told him to calm down – I had the perfect recipe for him. Totally simple to create, but would make him look like quite the chef. It was this, my recipe for Chicken Marsala. Read more

Chinese take-out is undeniably an American favorite. But it’s also pretty hard to find a dish on your standard Chinese restaurant menu that is Paleo friendly. Even if you skip the rice, almost all of the sauces are likely made with thickeners that are not Paleo approved. But you shouldn’t hate to deny yourself. My rule of thumb is that any diet that makes you restrict yourself is a failed diet waiting to happen. The good diets – like Paleo – simply require you to modify a few things. And this homemade classic Chinese take-out dish, Cashew Chicken, is the perfect example. Read more

Sometimes, it seems like chicken breasts get to have all the fun. They’re talked about as a lean, skinless, boneless, easy white meat that’s good for your body. That’s all true, but we in the Paleo world know it doesn’t have to be that way. That crispy, skin-on chicken thigh can be just as great for your body, and you can make it taste amazing in a thousand different ways. The recipes I’m about to share with you showcase what’s awesome about these babies. Read more

When it comes to big flavor, Mexican food takes first place in my book. I love the bright, fresh flavors of a mix of veggies, the perfect spiciness level (I like mine hot!), and the hints of citrus that come with so many Mexican dishes. Read more

My favorite recipes are the ones that only take a few minutes to put together, but then cook for a while. That way, when I get home, I can throw together a meal quickly and while it cooks I can relax a little or take a shower if I’ve just come from the gym or something like that. And this recipe – Easy Turkey Meatloaf – is just that kind of meal. Read more
